Can vs Should

We are downstream of canivibecodeit and we like it that way. They answer whether an agent can replace a tool. We take everything they said yes or kinda to and ask what happens when it breaks. Most of the time we agree. These are the 40 where we don’t.

To be completely clear

When canivibecodeit says YES it is answering a feasibility question, and an agent really will produce a working password vault in one session. This site answers the next one. “It works” and “you should run it” are different claims, so a row where the two verdicts differ is two questions with two answers. Their data seeded this site and their build prompts are linked from every page — go and read them.
